Bisi Akande, former interim chairman of the APC, accompanied Tinubu to the meeting.

Tinubu in reaction to the advice by the former presidents that Buhari should not run in 2019 said: “I don’t address those shadows. We should let our former presidents join retirees’ club and take pensions but they can participate in our politics if they are interested.

“It is a free world but this freedom is not served a la carte but they should allow us to move our country forward. It is a challenge to every Nigerian.”
